Title: ShoutBox to the left
Post by: brandy1j on April 05, 2008, 03:18:59 AM
Is it possible to get a link to the Shoutbox on the left of this page?
I ha Shoutbox but not like this with emotions, BBC and all.
Or is that a tweak of Another Shoutbox?
Love the Show and Hide feature also!
Thanks

the shoutbox is part of the tinyportal mod. All of the blocks you see here are part of tinyportal as well.

brandy, first of all, be nice ok?? :P

the alpha was released today, so now you can have the shoutbox on your site.. there is no "link" to a shoutbox, it is in the tp. now with the alpha release, you too can have a shoutbox like here. so get to installing and say thanks to everyone that worked very hard on this, so that you can be happy  :D

Be Nice? What did I do that wasn't nice..?

In link, I meant like the Mods you have in the Block Code Snippets area.
Thats where I thought it was. Sorry, if I didn't understand.
I just re-installed the new version of TP.. well the one at the top that says v1.0.5 Beta. Is that not the latest?
If it is I don't see it in the Admin area.. Where exactly do I look? Thanks..
And sorry again if I wasn't Nice.

I tried to look at your site but it is in maintaince mode. you should find all the admin stuff in the admin panel of your forum, look under tinyportal.

Then look under modules, then install modules, then install the shout box module

Also, keep the support questions in the support board, not the resources board.
I will move this there.

And smoky, again, please let the team handle the support some time ahead. Cant see where some one were not friendly here.

Brandi, if you look in your TP admin, you have a selection called TP Modules, start there and add your shoutbox block of your shoice ( there are two) then go to your block and panel admin and choose a tp module block, where it should show, and save it like in TP V098.

Shoutbox blocks will be blank once this is installed. In order to use shoutbox blocks again you need to do the following:

1.) go to "modules" section of TPadmin
2.) go to "uploaded modules" and install "Shoutbox"
3.) go back to modules tab and set Shoutbox to "on".
4.) Now edit the shoutbox block of yours and choose "tpmodule" type,save and then choose "TPshoutbox" from the list of modules underneath. Only then will your block work again.

Great Crip  :up:  :D

I agree! Great detail Crip..

Now, I'm in the TP Admin area, I see the Modules, after that I do NOT see "uploaded modules".
Am I missing something? I'm sure If I could find that it would be easy.

I used to see Shoutbox link on the side in the Admin panel but its not there either..
Now, in case this matters, I still see and can use the original shoutbox from my last TP install.

Thanks again for the replies.

Brandy, as Crip has pointed out it just takes a bit of digging around in your admin panel to begin to learn this stuff.  :)


Meanwhile, try this:

If you want the "TPAdvShout" go:
Admin>TinyPortal>Modules>Uploaded Modules>TPAdvShout>Install the module?... click on that.
That will install the module, you can then pull it into your 'TPModule' block .

Thanks so much everyone..
No Problem, Smoky.

I have done all that:  Admin>TinyPortal>Modules>
But I don't see the Upload Modules after that.

Someone has volunteered to look at it to see what I'm missing.
Hopefully these kids on Spring Break have not messed my head up THAT much!  :idiot2:  :2funny:
I do thank all of you for answering my question.
